Overview

The founders of UltraCell Insulation LLC started the Company in January 2013 with a determination to produce the very best cellulose insulation the industry has ever seen. Now after important breakthroughs in material science and after two rounds of pilot production the product is nearly ready for introduction in 2018. The UltraCell team is currently focused on standing up its 3M bag per year manufacturing facility in Buffalo NY on final refinement and tuning of its manufacturing process and on final negotiations with the Company s distribution partners before launching UltraCell with the fanfare it deserves.The Company s founders and our investment partners believe this is a good time to enter the insulation business. Driven by a rebound in construction and by new building codes that promote green energy efficiency the market for thermal building insulation is growing rapidly. The fastest growing segment is cellulose insulation growing at more than 10% per year. But a looming crisis faces the cellulose insulation industry. The industry currently relies on recycled newspaper as its primary feedstock and good quality supplies of newspaper feedstocks are declining rapidly as more and more people get their news on line. By turning to pulped recycled cardboard as its primary feedstock and with application of its patented wet manufacturing process UltraCell can produce a better product than traditional vendors and with no feedstock supply constraints.
